ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - FIREWORKS









Now it's day, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
 I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
 Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
 Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores
 It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
 Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
 "What's the day?" "What are you doing?"
 "How's your mood?" "How's that song?"
 Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
 It's family beaches that I desire
 A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks
 The frightened babies poo
 They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
 They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes.

I've been eating with a good friend who said
 "A Genii made me out of the earth's skin"
 But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
 she spits me out in her surely blood rivers
 All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
 If elephants are reaching for our purses, then meet me after the world with the shivers.

"What's the day?" "What you doing?"
 "How's your food?" "How's that song?"
 Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
 That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
 They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
 And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.
 And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
 That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
 They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
 And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that I'm only what I see sometimes.









現在是白天了,我一直試著將舌頭上的味道趕跑
我一直夢見你,夢到我早餐麥片都不冰了
從前夜晚的礫石堆中有迷人的一天
現在我已不能自知空虛地行走,我感覺醜陋,感覺到皮膚上的孔洞
為了那天的樹,我為了光而為它戰鬥
然後我感覺悲慘,人們向我打招呼,我保持禮貌
"你今天好嗎?""你過得如何?"
"你感覺如何?""你喜歡這首歌嗎?"
這些話語逕拋向我,然後遠去,現在已都消失了
我不能再支持著你了,因為我的心好累
我所渴望的只是和家人一起去海灘走走

在神聖的夜晚,在那裡,我們會一起看煙火
有些嬰兒嚇得拉肚子了
嬰兒有一雙閃亮的眼睛,各種顏色的眼睛
可為什麼
他們讓我覺得,我只不過是自己隨機所看見的事物罷了

我和一個好朋友一起吃東西,她說
"那些個天才們讓我擺脫地球表面 !"
可不管那些,她真可算是我的血親
她將我唾棄在她明白的血緣之外
大部分人們的生活只不過就是汲汲營營於擁有一盤土耳其菜
如果大象在找我們的錢包,那就在世界結束之後顫抖著與我相會吧

"你今天好嗎?""你過得如何?""你感覺如何?""你喜歡這首歌嗎?"
這些話語逕拋向我,然後遠去,現在已都消失了
我不能再支持著你了,因為我的心好累
我所渴望的只是和家人一起去海灘走走

在神聖的夜晚,在那裡,我們一起看了煙火
煙火嚇壞了嬰兒們 -- 你知道嬰兒,他們,有一雙閃亮的眼睛
如果 -- 他們 -- 其實是色盲呢?
如果是那樣,那麼,
我會覺得,你也只不過是我偶然所看見的事物罷了

New Order - Temptation







 
 
 
 
 
 
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
 
Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
 
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home
 
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
 
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Bolts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before
 
 
 
 
 
 

天堂、入口、希望
 就像一種內在深處的感覺
 這可不是開玩笑
 即使那麼對你深深刺痛了我
 從未親耳聽過的背叛的話語,如此難以啟齒

要嘛往上跳,要嘛墜到底
 或是轉個身
 總之,拜託你別讓我摔落地
 我想今晚我會獨自走路回家
 在路上我將會找到我的靈魂

不論我轉往哪個方向,我知道我會繼續嘗試下去
 打破我所處的此地包圍著我的牢籠
 有些時候我發現自己失去了某些欲望
 我想這是一個對自身的警示
 我真的這麼認為

要嘛往上跳,要嘛墜到底
 或是轉個身
 總之,拜託你別讓我摔落地
 我想今晚我會獨自走路回家
 在路上我將會找到我的靈魂

噢,你有一雙綠眼睛
 噢,你有一雙藍眼睛
 噢,你有一雙灰眼睛

我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人
 不,我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人

從上面奮力一躍,跳到底下那些人身上
 世界上的這些人們哪!我們確實是無處可去了
 噢,我想這是最後一次了
 噢,我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人
 噢不,我從來沒有遇過像你這樣的人
